    is it my imagination but are the prices of the new releases gone up again? Expressions and dog poses @ $15 and $13???? crying no  

    There was a bigger discount on new releases during PA sale, hence why it looks more expensive.

    Depends on the PA. Zeddicus has been putting expressions at $21.99 for a little while now.

    To be fair though Zeddicusget often a pretty good discounts so this is probably by design.

    It's not your imagination.  The prices have been increasing steadily, but most of the time it's partially masked by DAZ discounting.

    I'm trying to wrap my head around the promotional concept of "Pay at least $22 (2 new releases) to get a maximum $4.5 off (Quick Grab items, assuming you get the $4.99 ones)." And that's on the D+ member level.
    I'm glad I chose not to renew my membership. It can wait for when (or rather if) the anniversary sale starts.

    The win-win position would be someone who almost wanted two new releases at the intro price and is tipped into actually getting them by the offer - they  get extra content, Daz gets extra revenue. Obviously people who really don't want today's items at today's prices by a wider margin will not find the offer atttractive.

    wow..i hadn't noticed that really as I dont buy them. Noticed today as the sales gimmick was a new debut release so was trying to find the lowest priced one, but nothing I would buy today in that group.  

    Not into Anime poses?

    Dang, I hadn't noticed that product.

    I am always on here railing about the lack of filatoon support. Poses don't increase my filament shader counts but I want to encourage G9 toon support. What to do!!

    I'm really disappointed the PC Anniversary sale hasn't started. I stocked up on store credit and tokens for it. While the store credit will keep the tokens only last for a litt

    The most annoying thing about the QG sale isn't the format. It's the timing. I grabbed what I wanted yesterday. There's nothing, not even with an additional 30% or 50% off, that I want _today_.

    ..,today is a bit better.  Picked up Stonemason's Rust Town for 11 USD and change with the Catchup Flash coupon and a few tokens I needed to burn before they expired,

    To save others needing to experiment with today's GC offer for max discount:

    If you have D+/Premier, a GC over $300, and one of today's new releases in cart, the total discount for GC is 27%

    If you just D+/Premier, over $300, no buy-in, it's 19%

    Tokens also matter. The new release will be discounted by tokens.

    Is there any hope of getting a discount on the gift card without having to buy anything?

    Toss one in your cart and see if you like what happens. :)

    You do get at least a 5% discount without buying anything else (more if you're Daz+ / Premier and/or it's a $300+ gift card).

    I think it's the same one that was up Monday & Tuesday. Looks like it ended at Daz midnight. Oh well. 

    I am still debating whether to get just a D+ for the OS/QG but there's only a handful I want so not much of an incentive. No extra money to get a big GC sad & if I did have lots of spare cash I'd buy Christmas gifts early instead.

    There it is, the new Character Bundle I've waited for THE WHOLE LAST MONTH!!!! Love Lilith, but she won't bring me back into Premier, where Daz thinks, I should pay $199 a year, but the included features like a new character bundle I can use my coupon on, are purely optional from their side.

  • doubledeviantdoubledeviant Posts: 1,347
    Too little, too late. We ask for a new Lilith for years, and after all this time, Daz finally relents... only to give us this very boring figure.

    Sorry, Daz - my wallet will remain closed, as it does most days here anymore. If this was a desperate attempt to pry it and others open, then perhaps you should have actually delivered on the concept. :|

    I'm thinking Monday is more likely. They rarely launch something that big into the weekend.

    From my perspective, do the math: if you put all that you're interested in into the cart, would half of that value cover the membership? If yes, it's probably worth it as you also get 2 coupons. If not, then I'd wait, especially if most of the items are OS, and not QG. Daz anniversary sale is bound to start soon, and there might be membership deals.

    It's been staggered for a while now - but I'm sure it will be along soon :)

    Yesterday's sale is named Huge Gift Card Fill Up Pre-holiday Sale, so if seems expected that one big sale is on the horizon, possibly starting tomorrow (which was when the monthy freebie was supposed to be made available before appearing yesterday).

    I just know if I purchase a month's membership they will make a good offer for nonmembers next day

    frustrating because a fair few outlet things I want this month alone that makes that worth it otherwise 

    its too much like gambling for me, I don't play such games

    Yeah, wait to sub if you're sub lapsed. Frankly, the fact that you can't "extend" a membership makes it really annoying when the sales don't line up day to day year to year. Especially if you need the premiere tools in DS. It's almost user hostile.

    If it's outlet and not QG, you still have over 3 weeks. The anniversary sale will hopefully start soon, and maybe some good discount on memberhsips.
    Unless you aren't planning to buy the yearly one no matter the potential discounts. I doubt there's going to be any offer on the monthly membership.

    yearly is what I meant but if I already buy a month, will not qualify

    I mostly just join for a month a couple of times a year but if the discount is good enough will do a year as Australian dollar it's quite a lot otherwise

    Then I'd definitely wait. Outlet items will (should, I think once Daz removed some DOs from OS, but I might remember wrong) be there until the end of the month, so you'll have time to pick them up too. My yearly membership expired this week too, so I'm waiting to see if there are any offers during the anniversary sale (and if Jack Tomalin's vague statement is to believed, it's coming) before comitting to another year.

     I'm in the same situation. My yearly membership expired this week as well (a day before it was supposed too so I didn't get this months fee character bundle or use the coupons frown). If there is a good sale on annual memberships I'll rejoin for a year, if not I'll just do 2-3 months for the sales I like.

    I have similar thoughts. I have tokens expiring very soon, so the anniversary sale starting (tomorrow, please :D ) and a good offer on membership would definitely see me spending money.

    As for the memberships ending, not everyone is aware that they end at UTC midnight (which is around 6-8pm of the previous day for those in the US) rather than Daz midnight, so it might feel like a day early because of the time difference while it's actually on time.
